I love the album and I have no real problem with the production to be honest. Pictures of You, I'm With You, What's Left Of Me, Amen, Beautiful World, Because We Can, With These 2 Hands, Water are all great tracks. Great, great job!

8 points!

I gave it a 7... Right now I would give it a 7.5 if it was available. I am honestly surprised how much I like it. The production sucks, yes, but I still like the album overall.

Now I guess we'll see if it will have the same effect LH had on me... I liked it the first week and then I started seeing the flaws. Butthis album is certainly better than The Circle... no doubt about it.

TWTWMM is still my favorite, with a distant second being IWY. Based on the clip, I thought I was going to hate TAT! Talk about a song that totally redeems itself. The weak links being BWC and RATEOTW... it's a shame. Such a waste of a good title.

Agreed. I found it boring, but the studio version works for me.

At the moment I'd say a 7 is about fair. Could well be better than The Circle and on par with Lost Highway.

I'm pleasantly suprised on how much I enjoy the album as a whole. Yeah, production could be a little better without Shanks, but I saw past it, and most, if not all, songs are really good. Really digging What's Left of Me, Thick as Thieves, and I'm with You. Upon first listen, I'll give it an 8, and say that (I think) it's a solid record.

I give it a 6.

"Whats Left Of Me" is really trying to be "Someday I'll be Saturday Night", and its actually really catchy. "I'm With You" sounds weird but its a great song. TWTWMM is the best thing on the album for me.

The rest isn't really that interesting at the moment. "Room at the End of the World" is very boring and drags the album down. "Thick As Thieves" and "The Fighter" aren't doing anything for me either.
